In this section, you will learn how to:

  • Collaborate directly in each project's/task's space for instant context, dependency and responsibility insights.

  • Know what your team is working on and proactively mitigate issues all within the same project's space.

  • Push notifications by email.

Social block

Add a comment on a card to share key information, decisions, updates or ask a question to the Project team. The comments are accessible to all the users who have access to the card. The comment entry area is at the bottom of the block.

The formatting in the discussion block works with the Markdown library. You can use tags to format your text, for instance: This ** word ** in bold will appear as follows: This word in bold.

Here are some examples of tags:

  • * Text in italics *

  • **Bold text**

  • *** Text in italics and bold ***

  • ~~ Strikethrough text ~~

  • - bulleted list

  • 1. numbered list

  • [Link text](link)

You can mention users using @+user to notify them by email. You can only mention users who have access to the object.

Grouped mentions

You can now mention a group of users in a discussion.

By typing "@", new options allow you to choose to:

  • Mention all the people who participated or were mentioned individually in the discussion in the social block via “discussion participants”

  • Mention one or more users via the user fields (Ex: “Team”)

Before posting your comment, you can see who you are about to notify by hovering the “Notified users” icon.

Warning

A person who has never participated in the discussion and has never been mentioned other than through a user field (that is to say that they have not been mentioned individually), will not count in users notified if you use the “Discussion participants” command. For them to be systematically mentioned via this command, they must have taken part in the discussion or have been mentioned via their username at least once.

Email notifications

Users mentioned in the comments receive an email containing the title of the card, the comment, and the option to respond directly to the comment, or open the associated card. You can mention yourself in a comment, you will receive the same notification by email.

When you receive a notification email, you can choose between 2 buttons:

  • See object: Open the card in which you have been notified.

  • Reply: Open the chat block in full screen, as in the example below. You can also open the corresponding card from this page by clicking on "Open object" on the right hand side of the block header.

Share a card by email

Each card can be easily shared by email to one or many users (using an email address). A share is a private message between the sender and the recipient(s).
